How people reach Katy
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is 52 km (32 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Fulshear, Cypress and Sugar Land are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Katy has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Katy dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.
No published capacities
Not one Katy venue publishes a capacity in the open sources behind this page. Every room on the list will quote you a number directly, but you cannot compare them before you call, so build a fortnight of venue calls into the plan.
Arrival is a half-day
52 km (32 mi) from IAH means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The city is smaller than the market
27,741 people live in Katy itself, but about 7.8 million live in the wider Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
The bill for a Katy programme
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Katy event a mid-sized Katy programme, since no Katy venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Katy does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
No capacity is published for any Katy venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- training days and workshops
2 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
- leadership retreats
Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Katy has them.
